Rumor: TNT's Teen 'TITANS' Roster Revealed

In case you've forgotten about that Teen Titans adaptation on cable network TNT, it looks like someone has gotten a look at the pilot script and knows which characters will be appearing. The script for the live-action Titans was written by Akiva Goldsmith and Marc Haimes and is based on the DC Comics supergroup of young heroes, some of them sidekicks to the Justice League. They should be recognizable to millennials who've grown up with two popular animated versions of the team.

According to the report from Nerdist, Dick Grayson is working as a private eye in Boston after a falling out with Batman. He'll appear as Robin at first in the pilot before transitioning to his Nightwing persona.

Barbara Gordon, the former Batgirl, appears in a wheelchair which leads us to believe that if the reason she's been paralyzed is the same as the comics then we could see Joker at some point if the pilot is picked up. She's not mentioned as Oracle, the computer hacker, who provides intel and logistics during operations, but that could change.

Hawk and Dove will likely appear as a pair of romantically involved couple and some familiar names, Raven and Starfire, appear near the end of the pilot.

No word yet if Cyborg and Beast Boy will join at some point. It's entirely possible although Cyborg has been considered a part of the Justice League in the comics with him appearing in the upcoming feature film DC universe.

DC Comics may have outdone themselves with their running themed variant covers for the month of March 2015. After some fun and gorgeous variants in 2014 like Darwin Cooke (December), LEGO (November), and Bombshells (June) to name a few DC Comics is continuing to bring some creative covers in 2015. January will feature Flash throughout the company line in celebration of his 75th Anniversary, February will bring everyone’s favorite wild card, Harley Quinn, on DC covers, and perhaps the best mash-ups of comics and famous movie posters will arrive in March.

The closest we'll ever get, probably, to superheroes in real life is through the great work of cosplayers. You see them at every pop culture convention from the very basic to extremely elaborate costume design. However, you don't have to be a cosplayer to enjoy dressing up as your favorite superhero from time to time. Take fitness model and entrepreneur Gia Macool for example. An accomplished fitness competitor and model, Macool is also a big fan of DC Comics' Wonder Woman. She shows her love of the iconic Amazon Princess in her fitness wear, meal prep accessories and even a full blown photo shoot in a Wonder Woman costume.

For decades comics have featured very muscular superheroes, male and female, epitomizing the human form at its strongest. So when bodybuilders and fitness pros decide to suit up as these costumed heroes, they are the embodiment of those fictional characters in the flesh. Macool looks like she stepped out of the pages of a Wonder Woman comic with a suit …

A new, delightfully twisted story arc of the much-lauded political action thriller is coming to you this February!

Rylend Grant has been busy. The screenwriter – whom has previously penned poppy action fare for folks like Ridley Scott, Justin Lin, John Woo, and F. Gary Gray – spent 2018 writing movies for the likes of J.J. Abrams and Hamilton star Daveed Diggs. He also somehow managed to find the time to put together a deliciously evil five-issue sequel to his critically acclaimed comic book, ABERRANT.

To add fuel to his bone-tired fire, Collider recently announced that ABERRANT is being developed for television by 24 and Felicity executive producer Tony Krantz.

“Tony is one of the smartest people working in Hollywood today,” said Grant, who will write the pilot and produce the series alongside Krantz. “He has shown a uniquely genuine passion and enthusiasm for the book. I honestly couldn’t b…

A series of unexpected disappearances and deaths hit Central City. Initially, these cases seem purely unrelated; no apparent connection between the victims makes it easy for the police to just file them as runaways or natural deaths. But when someone close to Ebony White disappears, The Spirit is on the case!

J.M. Manion has long been a successful photographer covering the fitness and bodybuilding industry. He has photographed some of the strongest, well-defined physiques on the planet. He's also had a love of super-heroes and comic books. So much so that Manion began publishing his own comic book, Iron Siren Comics, featuring some of the fitness competitors he's covered as superheroes themselves. It's no wonder he sometimes incorporates superhero cosplay and body paint into photo shoots. Here are just some examples of his work:
